More than 100 Arizona Palestinian, Arab, Muslim, and progressive Democrats and community leaders have signed a letter making the case for those reluctant to support Kamala Harris against Donald Trump.
“We know that many in our communities are resistant to vote for Kamala Harris because of the Biden administration’s complicity in the genocide,” the letter, published Thursday night, reads.
“Some of us have lost many family members in Gaza and Lebanon. We respect those who feel they simply can’t vote for a member of the administration that sent the bombs that may have killed their loved ones,” the letter continued. “As we consider the full situation carefully, however, we conclude that voting for Kamala Harris is the best option for the Palestinian cause and all of our communities.”
The letter describes an “awful situation where only flawed choices are available.”
“In our view, it is crystal clear that allowing the fascist Donald Trump to become President again would be the worst possible outcome for the Palestinian people. A Trump win would be an extreme danger to Muslims in our country, all immigrants, and the American pro-Palestine movement,” the letter states.
You can read the letter in full and add your name to those who have signed.
And for those who think their lily-white souls (and they are mostly virtue-signaling white people) should not be tainted by voting for the unclean? Here - you've been given permission by the very people you purport to protect and value by not voting for Harris.
Do your civic duty and vote to protect as many people as you can -- unless you simply do not give a shit about the lives of queer people, Jewish people, women, the elderly, people of color, the disabled, and any other group all across the country and the planet who aren't straight white (male) Christians. In that case, sure, don't vote. That'll show everyone!
I don’t want to be harsh to people with a genuine conflict of conscience on this issue, or to assume that anyone is merely virtue-signalling, but I do really, really hope that they’ll take this on board, make the effort to vote and strongly encourage others in doubt to do so. Nobody but the cruel and greedy are helped by making things easier for Donald Trump. Kamala Harris is preferable, and a vote for her does not signal to her or to anyone who understands party politics “I approve of everything you’ve done so far and will uncritically support whatever you do next.”
Don’t forget to vote for whatever local or state positions are up for election at the same time. Despite what Donald Trump thinks, a president doesn’t have absolute personal power and can’t get much done if they are blocked by the Senate, House of Representatives, etc, so those outcomes are important whoever gets to be president.
Egypt has a new cease-fire proposal amid Israel’s bombardment and siege of northern Gaza. Israel is discussing the proposal but waiting to s
I just wanted to add this NPR headline from yesterday. Obviously things are more nuanced than just the headline, but NPR does very measured reporting (ie, less breathless ~breaking news~). The Israeli government does seem to be awaiting who will win the US election, and it's no secret those in charge prefer Trump. They will feel no pressure at all to stop if he wins. So here: plain evidence that your vote DOES matter, even for a few days of ceasefire. Please, please, please vote.
And if this doesn't convince you, reminder that the increased arson against ballot boxes proves it matters. It matters so much. Vote all the way down the ballot. It's one of the easiest, clearest, and best ways to make a difference. You may return to your regularly scheduled activism after.
My dream for the election is that it’s definitive. I want a 2012-style Election Day where everyone built it up beforehand to possibly be close but then the results start rolling in and it was like “Oh, nevermind. It’s obviously Obama. Everyone go to bed.”
I just want voters to put a stake right through the heart of Trumpism so that it crumbles to ash before our eyes. That’s the dream.
like to charge, reblog to cast
legitimately do yourself a favor and unfollow anyone who keeps spreading the lie that "there were no Russian agents interfering with the 2016 election" like I cannot stress enough how susceptible you people are to propaganda. We have proof. We had full scale investigations into it. We have the data. And blackpilled leftists on this website are falling for it again. Be smart. Be rigid. Do not let them get inside your head.
You can literally read up on the IRA. Easily. All the information about it is readily available. There is a fucking Wikipedia page with tons of links to official documents. For the love of fucking God. You people cannot just believe whatever the nearest Tumblr funnyman tells you.
this is another unfriendly reminder (among the many others on this site): VOTER ABSTENTIONISM IS THE PROBLEM AND IT WILL NOT GET YOU ANYWHERE
I am personally of the opinion that if you don't get out there and fucking vote if you have the ability to do so - even just to fuck over the person you LEAST want in power - you don't get to complain about the state of things.
(Best examples currently are the US and the UK but this is probs true in other cases too)
Again, preemptively, since online chodes don;t get it: voting, mutual aid, and direct action are not mutually exclusive
The unglamorous, unremarkable local elections are how you keep racist turds off your school board and away from the libraries and land use commissions. Vote every chance you get. Absolute worst thing that can come of voting is you spend a couple hours in line.
GODZILLA AS HIMSELF GODZILLA X KONG: THE NEW EMPIRE, 2024
Ok, but imagine Godzilla just… living in Rome.
You’re just some fucking Italian trying to go out for some Stromboli and Penne and there’s the fucking Lizard King just snoring on the horizon.
“Oh shit!”
Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.
Might I add:
The defeat of the wizard who made people choose how they’d be to be executed
The woman who raised the changeling alongside her biological child
The human who died of radiation poisoning after repairing the spaceship
The adventures of a space roomba
Cinderella finding Araura (and falling in love)

I can hardly take any credit for these stories! But I love sharing them. Unfortunately I cannot read all the prompt responses so please tag me if you want me to reblog a story that resonated with you so I can give it a little boost :)

REAGAN’S MOM!?
Jeez, no wonder the devil wanted to be in her house…
The show is a soap opera, but every couple episode or so get interrupted by a really popular wrestler that comes in out of nowhere to either flex a little bit or get in a fight and then the plot resume normally.
That’s it. That’s the show.
BTW- I assumed this whole time that there was some mysterious, Godzilla-related story reason for the two families that would be revealed at the end.
And then… nah. The dude just traveled a lot for work and picked up an extra family.
he not built for this

Remember the first season of Brooklyn 99 when they tried to make Rosa and Charles a “Will They or Won’t They”? And then were like… oh wait, no?
Good times.
Trust me. I've been doin' it for nine years. Yes, sir. Better than a shower and a hot cup of coffee. — Die Hard (1988) dir. John McTiernan
From a writing perspective, this is such a great trick.
They want McClane bare foot, but rather crowbar some contrived excuse at the party, they lay the groundwork early and include this little beat that not only fleshes out the world, but gives us another good early character beat with John.
Masterful stuff.
okay so that’s at least one person who would have no problem if they got sent back to medieval times, the guild hall absolutely going off to this mashup

Husband: That tune is really familiar.
Me: It’s the Pirates of the Caribbean theme.
Him: Ah.
Me: Mashed with Carol of the Bells. On a harp.
Him: *stares*
Me: Everything is on the internet somewhere.
Re: George Santos. This was totally a Producers-type situation, right? Guy ran as a Republican in a blue district, then spent the campaign funds on Botox, Only Fans and designer handbags. It was just the latest con. He didn’t actually expect to win. But he did and it put the spotlight on him. And now he’s going to jail for life, I guess.
Oh, George. You should have tried harder to lose. Outed yourself as a drag queen sooner, perhaps. That would have turned off the base.
I’m ashamed to say this was my district. Trust me when I say that nobody hates Lee Zelden more than George Santos.
Lee was the Republican candidate for governor of New York and Your typical head-up-Trump’s ass goon. To be clear, he was not going to win. No chance. But he did a good enough job exploiting Democratic complacency and scaring old people in the suburbs about NYC crime that it looked like MAYBE he could win.
The result was enough Reds turning out to boost a bunch of down ticket candidates over the finish line. Including, drum roll, GEORGE SANTOS.
George ran for this same seat last election and lost. I have no doubt he did the exact same thing in 2020 and figured he could ride the same train again.
….Except there was one thing he didn’t count on. Lee Motherfucking Zelden.
same energy as that buffy episode where the big bad ‘can’t be hurt by any weapon forged’ and she’s like ‘it’s been a 500 years are you sure’ and annihilates it with a fuckin M136 rocket launcher
